don't know about the elevation question - i'm in Southern Illinois, about 400 ft. - that's probably a manufacturer question. the size of the tanks we were using were the smaller BBQ grill size, 20 lb. i believe, but boy did we run through those quick! beware...

I have several of these heaters installed at 5400 feet and they all work fine. As far as bottle size goes, propane has 91,000 btu/gallon and this heater is rated at 10,000 btu/hr, so it will operate on high for approximately 9 hours per gallon, or 45 hours on a 5 gallon bottle. Choose your bottle size according to your usage needs.

Yes, it works well in high altitudes, we live above 5800 feet and it works like a champ! i have it hooked up to a five gallon propane tank that I placed outside the house, just put a small hole through the wall or floor, installed a shutoff valve and used a hose from a propane bbq. Works wonderfully.

We really like the Kozy World Heater and it does all we want it to do. Ours is not LP gas operated, and elevation was never an issue. I would have no idea what size bottle, although the bigger you have the longer you can use your heater without a refill. Personally, I think it is a very good product!

30,000 btu's per burner for a total of 60,000 btu's.I use it camping at the beach and in the mountains. It passed the wind test and high altitude test. I can sear a steak at 8000 ft.

Easy 7-800 sq. ft. on low to mid range- 900-1,000 on max high limits. I truly believe they rate the sq. footage to be perfectly safe on the part of the manufacturer. I own several and several different brands and they all exceed! But remember, Propane burns hotter than Natural which is also probably configured for the rating per/ sq. ft. (Duel Fuel) good heaters- good luck!

I used for natural gas. Propane would probably work also, just regulate it or use a log lighter to adjust flame height

I used the pool pump and that works fine on our 15 foot pool. But big mistake choosing the propane version, it uses a lot of fuel. If you can run a natural gas line to the heater, that would be the way to go. Also capacity is modest, but not the heater's fault, it's just a small unit.

Jane,Yes, they are 6ft.You'll need to get the hose/torch with the regulators for the disposable propane/oxy bottles if you use those.I hope this helps.Tom602-214-4617

I had my propane company hook mine up. I highly recommend you do the same. I have a high pressure line from the tank to the regulator that goes to the house. The generator has its own regulator,so they tied into the high pressure line just before the regulator at the house, and installed a valve that was tamper proof. I then had them install a quick connector to the valve. I bought a 12 ft. high pressure hose for the generator and installed the other half of quick connect to it. It works great! Just so you know....... this kind of hookup will void your warranty.

The Chef's Mate does fine with a 5 gal. propane tank and low pressure regulator. I did need to call upon a plumber to assure the connection of grill to tank was done properly.

Sorry no idea. We run off of a 500 gal. tank. Suggest you contactB & S directly- their engineering dept. will be able to answer.

I have two pannels for 5,000 gallons, and it is not that warm, you should use around 6 pannels

It works but you will go through a lot of propane. Ice takes a lot of heat to turn it into water (~540 Kcal/mole) and a similar amount to vaporize it. It will work off of 7lb bottle but a 10lb or larger bottle will work much better.

I live at 4500 feet in the Rockies...the heater works fine. Produces great heat for it's size. You won't be disappointed! P. Winkler

Can't offer any info on the propane question, we have both of ours hooked up to natural gas. They are great, did not disappoint us and never needed any venting.

I'm not sure how they came up with that number. It's more like 15000 btu. It does work good. I have a 22 foot travel trailer and we were in some 100+ temps and it kept us cool also on the flip side we live in the Colorado Rockys and on a few nights I've used it to heat and it will do the job well. I have it on a 20 amp circuit so it couldn't be drawing to much power. I did notice that when the compressor turns on it will automatically turn down the blower fan to reduce startup amperage. Then it will increase it after everything is stabilized. Hope this helps.
